[QUOTE="DJSmooth245, post: 8681679, member: 646733"] apologies. Was under the impression you could send private msgs on this board. I typed up a long msg but i suppose ill write it all out here. here goes.. Ive pretty much narrowed it down to just a couple subs. I know you are a SSA guy and thats ok by me. But going in a general sense, Im torn between the Fi BL and the SSA Icon. Im doing so much research, my head is splitting lol. Id prefer to have either sub in a 2.3ish cuft maybe 2.5 ported box. Tuned around 32hz? Everyone likes lows, but I dont want it to be similar to the Fi Q im hearing where its a monster down super low but struggles up top. I know thats more enclosure talking there, but Ive heard from different applications that It just doesnt reach high. I wanted something similar to my SPG 555 that I had.
